Laying Down Aces
What is the hand that every poker player wants? This is the one hand that will beat all other hands at the table pre flop. The hand every poker player dreams of starting with. Pocket Aces. Granted, there are many other good hands, but none of them can beat pocket aces. If you want to significantly increase your odds of winning the pot, then this is the hand that you should be looking for. Very rarely do you hear about someone folding pocket aces. That is because some players mistakenly think that they cannot be beat. This is true up to a point in the hand. You do not ever want to fold pocket aces before the flop; after the flop, it’s a different story.
Pocket aces are most valuable before the flop. This is the time that you want to feed the pot with as much money as you can manage, and do it as quickly as possible. After the flop your chances of winning can decrease dramatically. You want to play this great hand while you have the hand won and not waste it. If you can do this, in most cases, your strategy will work to your advantage.
If, for some reason, you do not accomplish this and other players call your raise, you could find yourself in a very tough situation. After the flop you would be forced to try to determine what cards are in the hands the other players and then decide if they are good enough to beat yours. There is a good chance that your hand probably will not get any better because it is hard to improve on a pair of aces. The hands of the other players will have a much better chance of improvement.
If you find yourself in this situation, the game could go one of several different ways. You might get lucky and the other players will hit absolutely nothing on the flop. This scenario will leave you ahead in the game. However, if they do hit say two fives come up on the flop and they come out with a big bet, you have a problem because chances are you could be behind in the hand.
At this point, you really need to consider the idea that you are going to lose the hand. This is because there are many hands that will be able to beat your aces now. If you feel that any of the other players at the table have a better hand than you, then it is time for you to get out of the hand. This is when it is really important for you to know how to read the other players and decide when to fold. Pocket aces may be the best hand early in the game, but after the flop they lose their power. Don’t make the mistake of thinking pocket aces cannot be beat. As a poker player, I can say they can be and they will be. Aces can be a dangerous hand. When you know your beat, fold them!
